DESIRE 2 LEARN

The Office of Student Educational Services contributes to the personal and academic growth of our students as they become active and engaged learners, successful at Marquette, and committed to making changes in the greater society. We are guided in this work by core Ignatian teachings and beliefs.

In accordance with “cura personalis,” we are committed to creating and providing direct support services and responsive programs that are attentive to the many contexts shaping student lives as they live, learn and develop at the University.

We engage in dialogue and collaborations with local and national stakeholders in order to be responsive to broader institutional and societal influences shaping the whole of our students’ life experiences.

Through our hiring and staff development efforts, we strive to create a culture within OSES that welcomes and responds to all students, but is especially attentive to issues experienced by students from diverse backgrounds.

The Office of Student Educational Services is a resource that helps students in their pursuit of academic and personal success. We want all students to reach their goals, so whether you need help with one of your classes or access to specialized services, we are here to help.

We offer a wide range of academic-related services designed to help students of all abilities strengthen their skills and take an active role in their education. We encourage you to stop by the office to learn about how we can help you realize your academic and personal goals.

If you find yourself spending a lot of time studying and not getting the grades you expect in return, let us work with you to figure out a better way. We’ve helped thousands of Marquette students find what works for them in one-on-one and group study skills workshops. We offer individual assistance with college learning strategies.

The Freshman Frontier Program (FFP) is an academic support program especially designed for entering freshmen who desire a jump-start on the Marquette college experience in a close-knit community. By choosing to participate in this unique Marquette program, you will not only work ahead by earning three credits in the summer, but you will also benefit from academic support and personalized attention throughout your freshman year.

The Urban Scholars Program is a full-tuition Scholarship Program for first-generation and low-income students from specific categories in southeastern Wisconsin and Chicago. In alignment with the Catholic, Jesuit mission of Marquette University, the Program exists to: provide a dedicated support network across the university, create a sense of community, ensure academic excellence and provide service to Milwaukee and the greater community.

Transition from passive learners dependent upon limited memory strategies to independent college level learners recognizing, selecting, and effectively utilizing a range of study strategies, students will demonstrate new learning strategies and tools (as appropriate to course/topics covered in one-on-one study skills sessions) that contribute to their independence as college learners.

Demonstrate mastery of the tools and strategies necessary to become independent college learners in the course for which they have sought tutoring.
